2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Next time I read about a mass killing by someone firing fully automatic digital downloads of COD in a room full of children I will come back to this thread and apologize to you.

Until then, I will consider you to be an absolute twat waffle defending the vague wording in a "living document*" that promotes profit over mass murder.

(* back in the day we were taught in Civics class that the US constitution is a living document, meaning as society changes it too shall reflect the will of the people. At some point the education system dropped Civics classes because it gave way too much information to the masses and keeps the common person ignorant & therefore keeps them in place)

I didn't defend anything, I just pointed out the irony of "videogames don't kill people, people kill people."

Perfect example of false equivalence.

I'm sure someone walking outside with a videogame is just as dangerous as somebody walking around with a gun. Exactly the same thing.

They're not saying people are killing people with videogames, and you know that, so you're being disingenuous. You're creating an equivalency I didn't make and arguing with it, not me. When you do this you only look smart to stupid people.

No, but arguably anyone driving a car is.
